Dear Gram.

Yesterday was the 4 year anniversary of my Grandmas death. I always try to look a the positive, so I wasn't too upset, but I couldn't help but get a little emotional.

I was thinking about my home and how much she would have loved it. I even thought about how great it would have been, because she probably would have asked to be my room mate when I was looking! Talk about an amazing time!

Then I started to think about how she was always wanting the best for me and couldn't wait for me to find someone who would make me so happy. Now that I have Joshua, it makes me disappointed he wasn't around sooner. Is it weird that I want to take him to the grave site to introduce them to each other? I don't think so, but I'm weird like that.

Luckily, she lives on in my memories and through all the kind words of others. Those who know how much she meant to me always send me kind words that day, so it means a lot to me as well.

On a side/related note. I went to her grave yesterday to clean it up a bit and leave a penny for her thoughts, and I found another penny had already been placed there. Now I'm on a mission to see which family member or random friend does the same as me! I love it! Does anyone else leave a penny in the cemetery when you got to visit a loved one? I'm intrigued, is this a normal thing? Details!

rain, rain...

...stay all day, fill my cisterns all the way!

My cisterns are getting quite low! For the past week, the weather men have been calling for rain and I haven't seen a drop. This morning around 5am, I finally saw rain...for about 20 minutes. Apparently, its supposed to come back this afternoon!

Here's hopin'

thoughts on a sunday.

I should start by sending my love to everyone around the globe today. My thoughts and prayers go out to all.

Next on my list, is to wish my beautiful young cousin a Happy Birthday, she is finally a teenager! Welcome to the teenage life sweetheart!

Which then brings me to sending my condolences to my cousins whose daughter turned thirteen today, best of luck with that eh!

Not that I like the attention, but if anyone would like to wish me a happy tri-monthiversary for Joshua and I, I'll take it! haha

And that's that for my things to get off my chest.

So I leave you with my songs for the week which I've decided to dedicate to Coldplay, since their new single "Paradise" will be aired sometime after midnight tonight here in Canada.

Coldplay - Moving To Mars

Coldplay - Major Minus

Coldplay - Til Kingdom Come

This isn't on the new album, but I think its a nice love song for an anniversary.

Coldplay - Yellow

Always thinking of you Gram

There are my choices!

Take what you will, enjoy my taste, or bash it with the best of them!

Be Well!

saturday's sunday.

It's been a while since I've had a Sunday post with music reviews, so I decided to do this a day early and throw out some songs that I've been jammin' to:

Eminem featuring Bruno Mars - Lighters

Love Eminem, still dislike Bruno, but love his music.

Empire of the Sun - Walking On A Dream

LMFAO - Party Rock Anthem

This is pretty much my friend's moms theme song!

Bruno Mars - Marry You

Maroon 5 - Moves Like Jagger (feat. Christina Aguilera)

Who doesnt love a good whistle in a song?!

Britney Spears - I Wanna Go

Whistle what?

LMFAO - Shots (Feat. Lil Jon)

And this song reminds me of my friend Derek.
